And what a polished political line that "Indian Software Engineer" was.
Both appealing to people's Empire fetish and trying to pretend ending FoM was nothing to do with racism.

"We don't have to take" - We did have to take. Not because people were being forced onto us, but because we had the jobs to do the work that needed to be done.
But no, let's say the removal of FoM removes a completely arbitrary UK government restriction on recruiting software engineers in India which was, let's be honest, quite a new policy.
And let's not forget that they argued "We can recruit the people we need from abroad".
We need HGV drivers, but now we're told "Businesses shouldn't rely on recruitment from abroad".

It was a thin mask to begin with, but if they don't actively allow people in to do the jobs we need to do, then they should probably admit it was just an attempt to dress up their pandering to racism to ensure they didn't lose the support of the non-racist Eurosceptics.
